Lyric FM in Limerick
Senator Gavan condemned the proposed move of Lyric FM from Limerick and sought a debate with the Minister on protecting regional broadcasting jobs. The Leader disputed his criticisms, but Gavan insisted the station’s future in Limerick was vital.
It is hard to believe. I know that because Marty Whelan mentioned it on his breakfast show on Lyric FM this morning. That is a show that is broadcast from Dublin but produced from Limerick. We are very proud of Lyric FM in Limerick.

We are very proud of the fantastic public broadcasting service produced from Limerick for the past 20 years.

It is a broadcasting service that RTÉ now wants to shut down.

It is an absolute disgrace. Every job in Limerick is to go. That is what RTÉ has said. It is 100% true. I can tell the Leader that the people of Limerick will not forgive Fine Gael if Lyric FM in Limerick is shut down. It is the jewel in the crown of our arts and culture, and the Leader is laughing about it.
